Wii accidents on the news
Living up in Tahoe I get news stations from the Bay Area, Sacramento and Reno. On the 11:00 editions all of the stations had a segment on the Wii's causing damage to tv's, ppl, etc. Just thought it was funny that all of them did it tonight. I am assuming its because Nintendo came out and commented on it yesterday. Also saw a CNN piece yesterday on it.

Re: Wii accidents on the news
I don't understand how Wii controllers cause more throwing against the TV than a standard controller. More aerodynamic?

It should be obvious of why/how it's happening. People get a little to in to the game and the controller flies out. You throw hard enough and accidently release the controller the strap can break. Sure people are being careless, and the average person would be smart enough to not let go, but a lot of people fall below the average person, and they have the potential to lose a controller while playing. If I had one, my issue wouldn't be myself, but maybe one of my drunk friends. |
